Community Description

First-of-its-kind, The Rogue River Eco-Village Destination Resort (RREVDR) is an iconic eco-village destination resort in development in southern Oregon to create an up-scale off-the-grid, sustainable green “smart grid” community of 450 green homes and green eco-businesses using the best green architectural designs and system technologies available. An elite team of top system engineers, green architects, permaculture designers, landscape architects, solar & hydroelectric developers, renewable energy consultants and advisors, hydrologists, geologists, water resource engineers and green business developers are assembled into one of the most innovative green think-tank engineering coalitions ever created. A unique green Home Owners Association and 23 Anchor Businesses are integrated into the first of its kind eco village destination resort in USA.The RREVDE is located on 2,110 acres in some of the most spectacular rural, undeveloped land in southern Oregon, Jackson County between Central Point and Gold Hill on a beautiful scenic bend of the Rogue River. Herds of wild elk roam this undisturbed rural land. This land is only 5 minutes from Interstate 5 and 20 minutes from Medford and yet is it in rural undeveloped land that has a diverse range of topography– meadows,. timber, wetlands, creeks, river.

The RREVDR Water Distribution Design is one of the most spectacular water harvesting and delivery engineering designs created. The primary water delivery originates with an all natural rock channel coming off the historic wild and scenic Rogue River with a beautiful intricate distribution of rock bank water canals integrating with seasonal creeks, collection ponds, wells, natural reservoir lake, storm run-off catchment areas, storage channels & storage tanks and rain cisterns that are all integrated into a “smart water delivery grid system” with overflows designed for instream return back to the Rogue River. All the RREVDR systems are integrated into the innovative water distribution system design. The Hydro-Electric and Solar Power systems, Water Treatment Filtration system and Potable Water Delivery system, Grey Water Recycling system, Living Biological system, Organic agriculture system, Agro-forestry, Gardens, Orchards, Vineyard, Green-houses, Aquaponics and Eco-Ranch are all integrated into a “smart water delivery grid system.”

RREVDR has truly created an elite design team of green architects, permaculture designers, sustainable community planners, landscape architects, hydrologists, geologists, solar and hydroelectric engineers, agriculture scientists, soils scientist, biologists, structural engineers and land use consultants. Every aspect of a building design system from purpose, application and execution must compliment, enhance and support the eco-systems in an integrative engineering whole system design.
​
Strict emphasis applies a Natural Resource Management System and Conservation Biology System where all natural resources such as land, water, soil, plants and animals are managed in land stewardship programs that protect and preserve the biodiversity of species, their habitats and ecosystems and improves the quality of human life for both present and future generations.
​
Our integrative engineering ensures that residential and industrial green building systems, agricultural systems, renewable energy systems, water harvesting, water treatment & water delivery systems, biological sewage systems and recycling systems are all created in a whole systems integration that compliments and improves the way people, permaculture designs and natural landscapes interact.

Membership Process:

We are in the process of creating a unique Green Home Owners Association and Business Owners Association that work together to manage many maintenance programs, projects, committees, and eco-village amenities that homeowners and residents can enjoy in this unique destination resort. These resident amenities and resident programs include the following: This structure will also facilitate the expansion for RREVDR to be a quasi-municipality enabling many benefits. Homeowners and Business Owners will have access to the following:

The RREVDR Business Owners Association has different committees and projects that are a vital part in the destination resorts growth, expansion and advancing into forming its own municipality of self-government and jurisdiction. The planning and development processes are carefully organized, structured and executed to enable RREVDR to provide it own water, energy, sewage, trash disposal contracts and to expand its own postal service, school and police departments.

As a municipality, RREVDR would have security gates and each entrance where guests, visitors, clients, residents, and employees would have colored designated badges on their cars ensuring proper entry while providing proper security into the gated community destination resort. Designation as a municipality would also allow the Coalition of 23 Green Anchor Businesses to expand with more green businesses offering expanded services and programs into the destination resort and eco-village lifestyle. While expansion would be limited, there are many visionary green programs and services that can be expanded into the RREVDR.

Additional Comments:

While RREVDR is a ecotourism resort that brings international visitors and guests, there is a top priority to create and maintain privacy, separation, autonomy and independence for the RREVDR homeowners and residents. The RREVDR Home Owners Association (HOA) and Business Owners Association (BOA) are 2 separate legal associations that both work together to improve, protect and preserve the quality of the green community lifestyle. Both Associations work together to maintain the integrity and sustenance of the RREVDR green community. The HOA also works to maintain the architectural quality in designs, engineering, construction and maintenance of all developments through its architecture committees. RREVDR Home Owners Association & Business Owners Association are part of a new green community management organization where all residents and 23 Green Business Anchors can vote equally and manage a diverse range of committees. The HOA works closely with the Coalition of 23 Green Anchor Businesses to administrate and manage many maintenance programs, projects, committees, and eco-village amenities that homeowners and residents can enjoy in this unique destination resort. These resident amenities and resident programs include the following:
